Australian Army combat in Afghanistan

Australian Army Reconstruction Task Force soldiers engage Taliban who attacked them while the RTF was building a patrol base for the Afghan National Army, approximately 15km from Tarin Kowt. This was the first time the Australian Army had fired its mortars operationally since the Vietnam War. The Taliban used small arms fire and RPGs from different positions to attack the site. The Australian troops responded swiftly with ASLAV vehicles, mortars and follow-up patrolling.

    2006 ’07 FT Ripley was nevered attacked, the SASR was in the mountains pushing the enemy off, the ground missions was done by the US. SF teams and the ETT had the ANA completing the search and destroy missions . stop 2008 the ISAF took control, every inch we fought for, the taliban took miles back

    @miltonboo I just love how we are the terrorists. Do you really think we want to send our young men and women over there. We would love nothing more than to have a peaceful world. You start the fight but don’t cry like a bitch when you get your ass handed to you. You think your resolve is strong. Try our resolve out. We actually care about human life and will defend it to the last!

    @miltonboo you have no fucking idea….

    You dont realise how much better that country is with the coalition forces in it.

    When the taliban were in control, it was illegal to have fun, you were no alloud to play ANY SORT of sports, i.e. playing pool or even Kicking or throughing a ball. Now, you want the country to be back like that do you ?

    How about you keep your narrow minded views to yourself !

    @spyrodude12 Id love to see how long he would last in the army. A few seconds maybe?

    @ebglider91 It’s probably some 10 year old that’s repeating everything their ignorant mother says. Don’t you just hate it when people rant without doing their research first…

    @australbanian Taliban are a military force. There are no Taliban peasants, they are Afghan peasants that are forced into poverty by the Taliban. And the way your talking, it sounds like you think Australia has invaded Afghanistan on its own for no reason. Couldn’t be further from the truth if you tried…

    @miltonboo I hope you’ve written this same thing on American, English, French and Israeli videos, because were not the only ones. And if it wasn’t Aussies kicking their doors down, it would be the Taliban kicking doors in on their own citizens. That’s why we went there in the first place. Taliban lover.

    in the battle that Mark Donaldson won his VC, 9/11 SAS soldiers ended up in hospital with Multiple gun shot wounds (1 guy: Collapsed Lung, the bullet only just missed his heart) Not to mention all the near death experinces you dont hear about, of which there are alot of

    @Roger1379 You say get out, then list all that other stuff…. the reason aus soldiers are ther IS TO STOP that, or do you not realise that becouse you are just stupid ?

    Imagine how much worse it would be if they wern’t there fighting the taliban, teaching young children/teenagers trade skills so they dont need to join the taliban ?
